I have a 55 gallon and have 5 rbp's and am thinking of getting 2 tiger oscars, and 3 cichlids do you think they will be ok together?
Would these go well together..

Red Belly Piranhas. And the answer would have to be no. It may work temporarily or even for a while. But it all spells death in the end to piranhas tankmates.

I'd say No mate Oscars are a hardy fish and would tollerate them for a while but it wouldn't take long for the piranhas to turn on them !!!
Every fish I have ever kept with piranha have been eaten by them.
On the other hand I do not like oscars so why not, heheh. They would be a bit expensive as feeders though.

One of my friend has a 9-10 inch O with 7-8 inche Ps and they have been keeping
the peace for a few months now. But i keep on telling him to say goodbye to the Oscar is its temporary for sure.

Aye, temporary only. I once put an african fish with 4 RPB (african was larger, had to was an emergency). Overnight he was gone, only a little bit of head left in the bottom of tank.
The 5 Rbps should be good in a 55g until they get about six inches, You never know with them though I have had little buggers go after each other in uncrowded tanks.
